tree sitter

Arboreal protest dweller

In environmental activism, a tree sitter is a protester who occupies a tree—sometimes for months—to prevent logging or development: The tree sitters refused to come down until the company abandoned the clear-cut.

In software development, Tree-sitter is a parsing tool that builds syntax trees for source code, enabling features like syntax highlighting and code navigation in text editors.
